SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A mental health center in Sheboygan called "Open Door" is preparing to close after Sheboygan County decided to stop its funding.
Licensed clinicians help an average of 40 adults each day with mental health and substance abuse disorders.
The CEO of the company that operates Open Door said the need for resources has shot up in recent years, so they requested more money from the county to keep up with demand.
"While there are certainly other community resources, we know the depth and the breadth of what Open Door provides, unfortunately, won't be easily replicated within the community," said Liz Morrell, CEO of Visa Care.
The director of Sheboygan County Health and Human Services sent a statement that reads, in part:
"We have been notified that the cost for those services is significantly increasing this year. We continue to analyze and evaluate the service offerings and hope to continue providing services to the greatest extent possible."
